In the latest episode of the "Mindset Matters" podcast, hosts Patrick Francey and Steffany-Hanlen Francey dive into an emotionally charged conversation reflecting on Steffany’s recent return from Paris, where she attended the Summer Olympics. Although her athletes didn’t compete, Steffany shares a remarkable story of how she came home with a significant recognition.
Steffany reveals that she received a medal, not from a current event, but from the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing. The medal, awarded by the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee, honors coaches who have significantly impacted athletes who went on to win medals. Steffany’s athletes won silver and bronze medals in the team event, but due to a doping scandal, their medals were only recently awarded, delaying the moment of recognition.
This episode is a journey into the emotional complexity of celebrating success. Steffany discusses why she kept the medal tucked away for two and a half years, feeling it was incomplete until her athletes received their medals. She draws parallels between her experience and the broader theme of waiting for the right moment to celebrate, emphasizing the importance of completion in any journey.
Patrick and Steffany also touch on the dynamics of their relationship, exploring how they support each other’s individual pursuits while maintaining a strong partnership. Patrick explains why he doesn’t travel with Steffany during her work trips, underscoring the importance of respecting each other’s professional lanes and roles.
The episode is a compelling reflection on the value of patience, the power of delayed gratification, and the deep satisfaction that comes from seeing a long journey through to its rightful end. It’s a must-listen for anyone interested in the mindset required to navigate the highs and lows of a career dedicated to supporting others.
